RadiantPERT | Polyethylene Raised Temperature Tubing with Oxygen Barrier
What Is Radiant PERT?
PE-RT stands for Polyethylene Raised Temperature. RadiantPERT is manufactured with DowlexTM 2344, which offers high strength, high temperature resistance, and long life without crosslinking. PE-RT tubing is constructed with five layers of material. The core and outermost layer are PE-RT, and sandwiched in the middle is an integral ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) oxygen barrier. At the same time the five-layer tubing is more flexible and easier to install than other piping materials used in hydronic radiant heating, cooling, snow melting, and distribution piping applications. PE-RT has been used successfully for nearly 30 years in radiant heating applications.
5 layer RadiantPERT offers several benefits over other piping materials:
- Greater flexibility
- The outer PE-RT layer protects the oxygen barrier from job-site abuse and moisture
- Easier to pull through joists and confined spaces
- Recyclable material
- Proven Performance
- 30 year track record
- Rated to 180 °F at 100 psi
You may use RadiantPERT as distribution piping for:
- Radiant heating/cooling systems
- Snow melting systems
- Radiators
- Baseboard
- Fan coils or kickspace heaters
- Make the Advanced Choice -
For hydronic heating, cooling, snow melting and distribution piping
